I think moose will go down easier than elk, and especially bears. I don't think they have the toughness or whatever you want to call it compared to elk. One through the lungs and wait till they tip over. It just takes a little time to deflate them compared to your standard whitetail.
One through the lungs and wait til they tip over works,and moose seldom take much notice of a big bullet through the boiler room,but it has been my experience that with smaller calibres they tend to wander a bit before they fall,and the wandering can often be into a swamp or a willow jungle.I shoot an 8mmMag at BC mooses,and I keep shooting til the legs go up in the air!! grin Monashee


Thinking you have not seen many moose or bears shot... I have seen a number of moose take a ridiculous amount of killing... My elk experience is way limited, but there is no way I would hesitate to shoot an elk with a 243 and a TSX, while holding on the shoulder.

Mark Begich, Joaquin Jackson, and Heller resistance... Three huge reasons to worry about the NRA.
